Hello! My 2020 Limited started making a quick chirp when the AC is cycling. It does it the entire time I’m driving, just quick little chirps. I love my dealership, but it’s a pain getting in there. Has anyone else experienced this?

Welcome to the Forum Kristin. :wave:
I don't believe this has come up before. I doubt it is caused by the serpentine belt or tensioners since they are always turning. It might be the compressor itself. It does seem a dealer visit would be required to try and determine the cause unless another member has an idea.

Maybe it will go away. When I bought my car new I used to have a sound as if someone is making popcorn coming from steering wheel turn signals but then it went away by itself.
 






What is the frequency of the chirps? Every second? Five seconds? Or only when the compressor cycles on and off?
 






I had my original ac clutch replaced due to excessive chirping when cycling. It was loud enough to hear from across the parking lot. I say go to the dealer and let them listen. You should only hear a click when it engages.
